The 2010 Groundling Awards: time to nominate

The Groundlings are a people’s choice award. You nominate the individuals or productions or programs for each category.

You can submit up to 3 (three) nominations beside each of the 12 (twelve) categories listed below, but only once please.

When nominations close on February 1, 2011, Greenroom will collate and post the three highest scoring nominees in each category and publish them here. At this stage the voting process will begin, and you will be the voters.

The winners of the inaugural Groundlings will be announced on February 14, 2011. But first, the nominations …

Please note that Groundlings will only be awarded to Queensland theatre-makers. Yes, we’re proudly parochial.

Greenroom’s focus, as per its byline, is on Professional and Independent theatre in Queensland. Amateur and community theatre productions are not eligible for an award.
Co-productions qualify but only insofar as nominees are Queensland residents. There is a separate category for the Best Co-production anyway.

HOW THE NOMINATIONS WILL BE COLLATED

When nominations close at midnight on February 1, 2011, Greenroom will total all the nominations. When this is done – and it may take a day or so – the 3 (three) highest-scoring nominees in each category will be published for voting here on Greenroom.

HOW FINAL VOTING WILL HAPPEN

Voting will be done via an automated Word Press plugin, and results will be available on Greenroom on February 14. The day has significance!

To avoid any taint of conflict of interest, Greenroom will not be nominating or casting any votes.
